...Just asking, just asking: Why is the default FILENAME_MAX on Linux/glibc 4096?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Because PATH_MAX is? Also because it's a 4k page.

FILENAME_MAX is not safe to use for buffer allocations btw it could be INT_MAX.

Thanks! Got an answer and not 200 downvotes. This is why I love Lemm-Lemm.
